Where I went to school: Massachusetts
My work: I have 5 jobs
ADHD queen, cocktail connoisseur, and lover of warm waters and even warmer vibes. I started my highschool women's rugby team...and ultimately fell in love with the sport. Cider is my passion, and cuddling with my dogs is the BEST! I have a heart as big as my to-do list. Often misunderstood but always fueled by good intentions—and probably caffeine. I make moves, and waves and always want to include everyone.
